Arsenal sign GK Votika on loan for rest of season

Arsenal have signed Czech goalkeeper Barbora Votíková on loan from Slavia Prague until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old, who has been capped 56 times by her country, has previous experience of the Women's Super League with Tottenham.

Votíková arrives at Arsenal following Anneke Borbe's injury in the Champions Cup final against Corinthians, which Arsenal won 3-2 after extra time.

Borbe was stretchered off with an oxygen mask after she was involved in a collision with teammate Lotte Wubben-Moy just moments before the final whistle.

Gunners boss Renee Slegers said: "We're delighted to bring in an experienced goalkeeper in Barbora, who will provide additional cover and competition in our goalkeeper unit.

"Barbora has extensive experience across different leagues in Europe and is familiar with the WSL, so we feel she is an excellent signing to strengthen our squad for the remainder of this season."
